Give up what you think you have to say.
Formalities weaken the meaning that you'd convey.
In truth hidden in the veiled insults,
Have failed results for everyone that lived that way.
The training spent on all your words
Was obvious in all we heard
Was repetition.
Representing your best interests
While wishing us
"the very best"
When that is something
That you would never give.
And some things are better stressed
When unexpressed,
Cause silence can be overwhelming
We'll find some way to prove you wrong
Formalities weaken the meaning that you'd convey.
In truth hidden in the veiled insults,
Have failed results for everyone that lived that way.
The training spent on all your words
Was obvious in all we heard
Was repetition.
Representing your best interests
While wishing us
"the very best"
When that is something
That you would never give.
And some things are better stressed
When unexpressed,
Cause silence can be overwhelming
We'll find some way to prove you wrong

"The training spent on all your words

was repetition."
Kind of like the dad had been practicing what he'd say on the day the kid is leaving, and he just kept repeating himself.
"Representing your best interests
while wishing us the very best
when that is something
that you would never give."
The dad is representing his best interests such as, I think, what he expects from the kid and what he wants him to do, but at the same time wishing him the best, when it is obvious that he doesn't really pray for that.
That's my take on the song. I don't have much else to say besides that.
was obvious in all we heard
was repetition.
Representing your best interests
while wishing us
"the very best"
when that is something
that you would never give.
-That part reminds me of student council elections in school where it was just a big popularity contest rather than an election based on actual qualities. The meaning of this song is good and to me meaningful. You guys summed up what I would say this song represents.

i heard Chris talk about this song once and he said that at the school he used to work for, he felt that the children were taught what to think, rather than how to think. and he thought that it was very wrong.
